LMS Virtual.Lab Structural Analysis for Nastran provides a general pre- and postprocessor for Nastran. It allows engineers to analyze components and subsystems for general performance using Nastran, including for solutions beyond what is available in the CATIA V5 simulation environment.
This solution includes all the mesh modification tools and the analysis driver for a general pre- and post-processing. It supports general and specific analysis cases, such as:
- Static Analysis Case - linear (SOL 101) and non linear static (SOL 106)
- Modal Analysis Case - real (SOL 103) and complex modal analysis (SOL107, 110)
- Dynamic Response Analysis Case - modal and direct modal analysis (SOL 108, SOL 111)
- Steady State Heat Transfer (SOL 153)
- Transient Response Analysis - modal and direct linear and non-linear analysis (SOL109, SOL112, SOL129)
The easy-to-use interface guides the user to import a finite element mesh or start from a finite element mesh from CATIA/GPS; check mesh quality and/or complement or modify the mesh; apply the correct boundary conditions and loads; define the appropriate analysis; launch the solver and conduct postprocessing
